Gave me a dis-count on my Ps5 brand new out the box and I also received some good game to come with it. Very clean, very polished and polite. Very professional.

BattleBox is a great addition to the gaming community in Milwaukee. It’s a unique shop for all nerds and “blerds” alike. If you’re looking for anything video game related, old or new, definitely give Battle a call! His shop is clean, organized and filled with a great collection of games and even figurines. If you’re looking for something in particular, give him a call and he will have it ready to go when you arrive. Also, be sure to call when you arrive at shop so he can let you in since it’s a pre-arranged transaction. The Battle Lounge next door is also a great and safe place to come and have some drinks, dance, make friends and have fun! Battle is a great guy, and cares a lot about the community. Definitely an alternative to GameStop and a great way to support a local business! Show less

This had to be the most unique retro gaming store experience I've had so far. When I arrived there I tried to enter the store, but the door was locked. Apparently they do this because its not your typical shop and they want to know who is coming in and out so they can foster good relationships with their customers, but also to prevent things like theft. All of the stuff displayed is the owner's own personal collection and he is willing to trade or sell, and you can test out a lot of the stuff. The staff is friendly and interesting, and I enjoyed my trip. My only qualm would be that the area it is in isn't the nicest and that all of the stuff is just priced via eBay, but if the stuff is the owner's, one could expect that. Show less

I visited the store a while ago but the memory is still sour and annoying. I didn't mind that you needed to call ahead as he stated the area is a bit sketchy so take that what you will. however I would not call this a store but rather a club that so happens to have games that may or may not be for sale. if you are going there you need to know for sure that they have the products you want as the owner does not want you to stay there for longer then 10 minutes or even less. the owner also talks down to you and has a very abrasive personality when say asking about game prices or console prices. if you even remotely look stunned or show any ounce of surprise you are reprimanded. a lot of the prices are ebay listings (expensive as all hell). again I would not call this a store but rather a club that has a guy who may let you purchase games but even then that is a hard no. I do not why this has a listing as a retro game store when it clearly isn't and other reviews say otherwise Show less

To me that is a joke! If you also don’t want people to touch ur collection put signs up! Don’t yell at people when they want to look at the disk or the case! I did buy a few things and was told if I’m ever looking for something to email him. Well still waiting on that email back! It’s been a year! More power to the guy! I hope he’s doing well but keep the gaming store different from the club side of things! Show less

Great store! The Owner is a very intelligent and nice guy,; he is willing to help anyone with anything from video games to science questions and anything in between. He is a very honest dude, will never try to rip anyone off and in fact will go out of his way to make sure his customers get the best deal and best service possible. The store has a call ahead policy which helps keep down rude customers and helps with keeping the store a kid friendly environment. All in all, I would give this store a 25/5 stars if I could. I am sure everyone else would do the same (provided the customer follows the rules) Show less

Absolutely amazing collection of items, but... ...you absolutely have to call ahead as he will chastise you for showing up to his public business without an appointment (he did this to two guys who showed up while I was there). Once you DO get inside, everything is priced at a minimum of 20% above full retail, some handhold consoles a full 33% above value. Nothing is marked with a price, he just throws them out off of the top of this head. On top of this, he was putting down the game selections that the other customers were looking for in his store. No chance I'll ever go back. If you want to look at a bunch of cool, overpriced items, make an appointment and waste his time as much as he wasted mine. Show less

Place is a GEM. I had him fix my nes and n64. I also picked up double dragon and Mario 64. Two fixed systems and two games less than $100. Support businesses like this that are making the community stronger.

Not a traditional game store, but not in a bad way. As others say, items are not priced and you need to call to be let in, but neither of these things were issues for me. I asked for a copy of Pokemon Black, and Battle gave me a reasonable price. I also walked out with a Pikachu GBA SP. Battle has an incredible collection and runs the store solo, so I totally get his policies. He was incredibly friendly to me when we chatted about games, life, and running a business. I will definitely be back! He also does an awesome reward program for students. Each time students bring in a report card, they receive a $5 off token. If they can save up four tokens, the $20 value doubles to $40. As a teacher, I think this is an awesome thing to do to academically support students. Battle even gave me a $5 off coupon for teaching the youth. The store was clean, well organized, and overall an awesome experience. As long as you’re respectful and understand what you’re going into, I definitely recommend Battlebox! Show less

I said I'd pay $50 for both (exactly what they were asking on each). I typed this in their chat 3 or 4 times before finally being acknowledged. They agreed to the price, and i made my purchase. The following day, November 7th, 2025th... I received a notice that they are cancelling my order to sell to someone else instead. Completely garbage business. Their "support agent" who goes by "C" was making ridiculous excuses, as well. Expect to not receive your games and have your orders cancelled if you buy from this "store." Show less

I’m ashamed to say I’ve driven past this store for years without experiencing this gem of a place. This is THE stop for your retro gaming needs. I’ve searched for a proper Wii game without luck, until walking into this time portal. CALL AHEAD! Highly recommended.

Pretty strange experience. I found the store in a google search without looking at any reviews. Drove 45 minutes to arrive 15 minutes after the opening time but it was closed.

Pretty strange experience. I found the store in a google search without looking at any reviews. Drove 45 minutes to arrive 15 minutes after the opening time but it was closed. Came an hour later but had to call to get inside. At the start of my visit I went to pickup a Sega Genesis game that was probably worth a few dollars and was reprimanded like a little kid and told not to touch anything. If you’re not allowed to touch anything, and there are no prices, and the owner is not readily available to give pricing, then why have a physical store? If you’re worried about stealing, then why not put high priced games in a locked cabinet. Seems a little irrational to sell games for a few dollars and not allow anyone to touch them. Hiring an employee would also minimize this risk, and then the store could open at the advertised times, like a real store. I was also repeatedly told that I should already know what I want before going inside the store so he can have it ready. Common sense would tell you that if you’re going to a physical store you most likely don’t exactly know what you want. If I did, I’d be going to eBay. I was told that it was ok to browse, but I didn’t get the feeling that I was very welcome. Most annoyingly, for most of my visit the owner was on the phone so I couldn’t ask many questions, like the price. There were no prices on anything, so the owner should be able to quickly provide guidance. I was eventually able to ask the price on about 2 items, which were well above market price. It was almost as though he didn’t really want to sell anything. One item I asked about he eventually went and grabbed it, but knew nothing about it, took a picture, I kept waiting but he walked to the back of the store and started talking on the phone again. After 45 minutes I gave up in frustration and left. As I went to leave the front door was locked, again pretty strange, so I had to unlock it to get out. The owner seems like a nice guy, but probably needs some professional guidance to learn to operate as a physical store. Show less
